In Friday's issue of the "Bulletin" a Charters Towers telegram stated that Roberts, the second victim of the Mills United accident, died at six o'clock p.m., on Thursday. The statement was incorrect and Friday night's "Tele- graph" says:— The unfortunate man Roberts is still lingering in the hospital in a critical condition, and it is hardly likely he can recover. Attention is directed to an adver- tisement appearing in our advertising columns reminding the members of No. 2 Queensland Company, Australian Garrison Artillery, of the special par- ade called for this afternoon at Kiss- ing Point at three o'clock for the pur- poses of inspection by Major-General Hoad, C.M.G.

The Bulletin. PUBLISHED DAILY. SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1907. FEDERAL POLITICS. So much work is laid out for Austra- lia's third Parliament in the Governor General's speech on its first meeting for despatch of ordinary business that the most interesting question at the moment is as to the order in which the items of the programme will be taken. Very few indeed will be dealt with this session, even if it be extended into next year. The Government's position is such that it must subordinate the importance of items in its programme to tactical considerations. It must se- lect for immediate treatment items on which it will be able to rely on the sup- port of the Socialist party; It must postpone legislative projects likely to bring it into conflict with that party, and it cannot, as it certainly should, get the revision of the tariff effected immediately, because when fiscal dif- ferences are thus removed, its ability to keep in office will be ended. The result of this Ministerial situation is...
